For Christians, yes, the New Testament is the fulfilment of the Old Testament. They point to many Old Testament passages that they believe prophesy or prefigure events in the New Testament.
Objectively, some of the references used by Christians are not really from the Old Testament in the original Hebrew but from the Septuagint, a flawed, early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, and as such do no more than demonstrate that parts of the New Testament were written by men to fulfil the wrong scriptures.
In other cases, the gospel authors seem to have misunderstood the Hebrew texts. Matthew says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem to fulfil a prophecy in the Old Testament. He quotes Micah 5:2 as: "And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel," whereas the actual text of Micah 5:2 is "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah[Bethlehem], though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from days of yore." Micah expected that another king of Israel would be born in little Bethlehem. He did not mention Jesus, and Jesus was never the king of Israel nor were all the Jews to become his followers, as another sense would imply. The link between Micah 5:2 and Matthew is so tenuous that some Christian Bibles have improved Micah 5:2 to make it a more apparent prophecy of a divine king, translating the verse into English with 'everlasting' rather than 'days of yore', but I have provided the original.
Yes, many Christians believe that the New Testament fulfills the prophecies and promises found in the Old Testament. They see Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of these prophecies and the ultimate revelation of God's plan for humanity.
No, the Old Testament is longer than the New Testament. The Old Testament covers the time from creation until the birth of Christ.
The old testament is history from creation to just before the birth of Christ. It is written by many prophets as well.While the new testament is more on the teaching of jesus then history.
The Old Testament contains sacred texts of Judaism, including the Torah, Psalms, and Prophets, while the New Testament contains texts about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the early Christian Church. The Old Testament focuses on the covenant between God and the Israelites, while the New Testament emphasizes Jesus as the fulfillment of that covenant and the establishment of a new covenant for all believers.
Wisdom is found in both the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible. In the Old Testament, books like Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job contain teachings on wisdom. In the New Testament, wisdom is also discussed in passages such as James 3:13-18.
The Old Testament laid the foundation for the coming of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The New Testament fulfills the prophecies and promises made in the Old Testament, showing how they are interconnected and part of the overarching narrative of God's plan for humanity. Jesus himself often referenced the Old Testament scriptures to demonstrate how they foretold his arrival and mission.
No, Thessalonians is not in the Old Testament. It is a book in the New Testament of the Bible.
The book of Job can be found in the Old Testament.
Fulfillment of the Old testament
The Old Testament tells the history of the nation Israel and God's dealings with them to about 400 B.C. Christians see its complement in the New Testament, which reveals Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.
The Old Testament is centered around the Law and is full of promises. The New Testament, with the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, is the fulfillment of those promises.
JESUS was the messiah that was promised in the old testament. He was the fulfillment of old testament prophecy.
In Christianity, there are several covenants that God made with humanity throughout the Bible. Some of the most notable covenants include the covenant with Noah (Genesis 9), the covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12), the covenant with Moses (Exodus 19), and the new covenant through Jesus Christ (Luke 22). Each covenant established a particular relationship between God and his people.
The new testament.Further thought:The New Testament contains the account of Jesus' life, his fulfillment of prophecy, and his effect on the world. The 'Apostles' were chosen disciples of Christ after he was born on earth(so they were not in the Old Testament). The book of 'Acts' describes the 'deeds or actions' of some of these Apostles in the early days of Christianity
You can tell them that the New Testament contains historical records about the life of Jesus and the establishment of the Christian Church. However you should also teach how the Old Testament is a record of man's history and God's dealing with mankind throughout history. In the Old Testament the nature and character of God is revealed and we learn about the relationship of God and man. You should also teach how the New Testament is a fulfillment of things foretold in the Old Testament and how the coming of Christ is another way in which God has spoken to all of mankind. The New Testament cannot be explained without reference to the Old Testament. Even themeaning of the words 'old' and 'new' 'testament' are important in explaining the New Testament
